In the new animated comedy series Mike Tyson Mysteries, Mike Tyson is taking the fight from the boxing ring to the streets… by solving mysteries! Armed with a magical tattoo on his face and a trusty associate by his side — a talking pigeon — if you have a problem that needs solving, Iron Mike is in your corner. The series incorporates live-action appearances featuring Mighty Mike himself, and the gloves come off as the former heavyweight champ and his fowl-mouthed partner gear up for weekly adventures as they put unsolved mysteries — like how to defeat a super computer at chess or why a famous author/werewolf can’t finish his novel — down for the count. Animated quarter-hour from Warner Bros Animation.

You know you will be watching. It sounds like a cross between Black Dynamite, Robot Chicken and Black Dynamite. This isn’t exactly Scooby Doo Mysteries.

I wonder if the Tattoo is like Dora’s Map?

Yes, I have a young daughter (who thankfully is older now, so I don’t have to watch Dora anymore), so I know all about Dora, Diego and Backyardigans unfortunately.
